Overview

Use tmux to drive interactive terminal sessions, including TUI workflows like ralph-tui. tmux lets you send keystrokes, capture screen output, and keep processes running between steps.

When to Use

  • Testing ralph-tui or any interactive CLI prompts
  • Managing long-running processes (web server, loops, watch mode)
  • Capturing live terminal output for QA reports
  • Interacting with applications that redraw the screen

Prerequisites

  • tmux installed (pre-installed on macOS)

Verify:

tmux -V

Core Commands

Create a detached session:

tmux new-session -d -s <name>

Send commands (append Enter to execute):

tmux send-keys -t <name> "<command>" Enter

Capture screen output:

tmux capture-pane -t <name> -p
